Acquired from the Rockies yesterday for cash considerations, left-hander Chris Capuano will join the Yankees’ rotation and make his debut Saturday versus the Blue Jays.

Capuano spent most of this season working as a reliever for the Red Sox, but then joined the Rockies as a starter at Triple-A.

As a fly-ball pitcher Capuano isn’t a great fit for Yankee Stadium and at age 35 he may simply be nearing the end of the line, but from 2011-2013 he was a solid mid-rotation starter and he fits the Yankees’ recent moves of adding some marginal improvements without giving up any significant long-term pieces.

His arrival pushes rookie Chase Whitley into a bullpen role after posting a 4.76 ERA in 12 starts.

Another dominant arm for the best pitching staff in baseball. It’s gonna get really old hearing the commentators go on and on about jeter throughout the world series though. The yankees should be happy about the all star game results cuz home field will be huge for them. I wonder who they will play. Probably the nationals or cardinals
